If you are looking for wedding favors that you can make yourself, here’s one idea that you might like. It doesn’t cost much and it’s simple to make, but it turns out pretty.
Items Needed:
- Plastic champagne glasses (bowl shaped, not fluted)
- Artificial white roses or flower/color of your choice (must fit inside the glasses)
- Glue (any glue that will dry clear)
- Pearl or other jeweled seed beads
- Curling ribbon (pearlescent or silver)
- Hershey’s Kisses
Instructions:
1. Start by adding tiny dots of glue to the outside bowl, stem, and foot of the glass randomly and attaching beads. Allow to dry completely before proceeding.
2. Cut several lengths of ribbon at least 12” long and curl a couple of inches up both ends of each strand. Glue the ribbons to the inside of the glass and let the ends spill out in uneven lengths. You will need to set something on top of the ribbons to hold them in place until the glue dries (clean rock, etc).
3. Remove the stem, if any, from the flower. Glue the flower into the glass on top of the ribbon, opening the pedals wide.
4. With just a dot of glue, secure a Hershey’s Kiss to the center of the flower (*optional).
5. Curl some more ribbon and bunch it up around the foot of the glass. Mingle a few more Kisses or some tiny ribbon roses in with the ribbon if desired.
Some Variations:
*Follow first steps and leave off Hershey’s Kisses or use them to surround the rose instead of attaching to the flower.
*Use party favor size champagne glasses and simply place Hershey’s Kisses inside.
*Instead of adding more ribbon around the bottom of the glasses, sprinkle metallic confetti.
*If you would rather use something else besides champagne glasses, pick up pretty miniature silver baskets. They are available in many wedding accessory sections/shops and craft stores. Fill with gold curling ribbon and of course some yummy Hershey’s Kisses.
